The First Three African American Members of the APA. In this new brochure Michele Valerie Ronnick describes the remarkable careers of three scholars who joined the society soon after its inception in 1869. Their lives are interesting in themselves and shed light on the heated debates over the education of newly freed slaves in the late 1800’s.

Guide to Graduate Programs in the Classics - 2003 / 10th Edition. Up-to-date information on admission and degree requirements, curricula, faculties, costs, and financial aid from the leading graduate programs in the U.S. and Canada.

Careers for Classicists. Kenneth F. Kitchell, Jr., has revised and updated this brochure which is designed to acquaint undergraduates, graduate students, and their advisers with the abundance of career paths open to students who pursue degrees in Classics. It is helpful reading both for those contemplating a Classics major as well as those already committed to the field.

Teaching the Classical Tradition. Emily Albu and Michele Valerie Ronnick provide an overview of the study of the classical tradition, a relevant bibliography, and a substantial collection of college syllabi which members may adapt for their own courses.
